HOME is where MEMORIES are made and TRADITIONS are created. ~ unknown
Hello dear ladies, and welcome to my NO PLACE LIKE HOME party! I am a little late getting started because we had an emergency a couple of weeks ago but all is well now and Hubby is recovering nicely. God is so good!!
I know my American friends are busy as beavers getting ready for Thanksgiving but I know that many of you are also decorating for the Holidays.
I have all my trees up but not decorated yet. I'm just getting started really but I do have the ribbon on the main tree in the family room.
Hubby got me this little red truck ornament this year and I'm so happy to have one. I have been on the lookout for a couple of years for one. I think it is adorable! The tree is loaded into the back of the truck and on its way home for a very Merry Christmas for the family.
I love getting a new ornament every year. How about you?
The big tree will be decorated with mainly red and gold, but many of my treasures will be on the tree as well which is why I call my trees, Memory Trees. This is a sneak peek...Big, beautiful red hydrangeas {with a touch of sparkle} and a sparkly gold ribbon is adorning the tree at the moment.
From home to home, and from heart to heart, from one place to another, the warmth and joy of Christmas brings us closer to each other. ~ Emily Matthews

Your hydrangeas on your tree look so pretty, Sandi, and I so love your header. Yes please, add me to your party, and thank you for hosting. Hugs and blessings are sent to you....
ReplyDeleteI did manage to share something today. Thanks for hosting. So many of our friends are putting up their tree and Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving this year. Love the red pick up truck ornament. It would fit into our new environment in the country. Hope you have a good week. https://happywonderer.com/2020/11/23/no-place-like-home/
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sandi, for hosting. Your tree is going to be beautiful. Here is the link to my post. https://fabricpaperthread.blogspot.com/2020/11/no-place-like-home.html
ReplyDeleteHave a good week.
https://pamelasopenwindow.blogspot.com/2020/11/thanksgiving-thoughts-and-memories.html Here is my link above. Mine is all about Thanksgiving memories, since we are celebrating Thanksgiving this week. I won't start my Christmas decorations until next week. I love your new red truck ornament. What a cute idea, with the tree in the back. I love seeing those designs now. And your Red Hydrangeas are beautiful. What a lovely idea for your Christmas tree. I hope my post will be okay, as it is more about memories, but it also gives ideas for ways to celebrate Thanksgiving. Interestingly, our Christmas celebrations are very similar, just add the Christmas tree and gifts...everything else is pretty much the same...except we might eat ham instead of turkey! Have a blessed week, and thank you for doing this.
ReplyDeleteHi Sandi,
ReplyDeleteSince I'm not a blogger, just a reader, I can't contribute to your party but I do so enjoy everyone's posts. And I always look forward to your pictures, ideas and memories.
I hope your hubby is getting stronger each day.
Blessings, Linda
Thank you, Linda. I'm glad you are enjoying it. My hubby is improving every day and we are all so thankful. Happy Thanksgiving to you!
ReplyDeleteHi Sandi! Thank you for hosting such a lovely party! I am SO thankful your hubs is feeling better. I am smiling that your darling got you a much-wanted red country truck ornament. ♥
ReplyDeletePlease add me happily to join in the party, with my apologies for getting here so late.
Hugs and prayers.
Please add me to the party. So happy you are here to share.

When I had my shop, I always did a tree totally in flowers and crhistmas balls or birds, maybe a fairy here or there, and I often had Tschaikovsky playing in the background. Red hydrangeas and gold will be gorgeous...! Hugs, and have a Happy Thanksgiving. Sandi
ReplyDeleteYour new red truck ornament is adorable. Looking forward to seeing the fully decorated tree!
ReplyDeleteAgainst all odds, I managed to get some new tea-themed ornaments this year from Hallmark. Normally, I would wait until they go on sale after the holidays, but this year, I snatched them up without hesitation.
Thanks for hosting. Please include me in the party.
Hi, Sandi---I'm hoping that blogger gets some of their glitches taken care of...I've lost bunches of the people I want to see---since the upgrade, and no way to re-sign up---! I know I have lost a few to my blog already---I'll be loving the hydrangea and gold Christmas Tree---Have a Happy Thanksgiving,Sandi to Sandi

I have my trees up and decorated (mostly). I didn't get out my 'family type' ornaments this year-the ones I collect from year to year. Instead I did a red themed tree in our living room and a sparkly blue one in the upper loft area.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful, blessed Thanksgiving. xo Diana
I'm so excited to decorate for Christmas! I've shared a favorite pie recipe on my blog that I'd love to share here.

Lovely post, Sandi, and I am so thankful to hear that your hubby is continuing to do well! Your red truck is so sweet. I have one of those but it is a bit different from yours.
ReplyDeleteI managed to put together a post to link up here. Here's the link: http://acrossmytable.blogspot.com/2020/11/no-place-like-harvest-home.html
Hi Sandi.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to hear that your Hubby is feeling better. We never know from day to day what can happen in our lives.
I will start decorating my trees this weekend. I only have lights on it so far.
The virus is out of control here. We are in the "Red Zone"here. We cannot leave our district, so we cannot do Christmas shopping and I don't like shopping on line. I am doing mostly baking for gifts. We won't be having visitors for Christmas. Although we have to be thankful for what we have.
I would like to join your party. I did some Christmas Bark for gifts. athttps://thelmaday.blogspot.com/2020/11/candycane-christmas-bark.html
Take care
What a lovely party, Sandi! I'm on my porch talking about closing up the porch for winter. The quirky idea of inviting our decor to morph from one season to the next ... and my favorite red berry wreath and mantle swag.
